This collection of tracks is less musically refined, more experimental, and more synthetic. The sounds are worth listening to, but may not be entirely entertaining.
"Cruise Control" may be the best of the bunch. It combines many instrumental sounds with a nice set of lyrics. They're comical, but fitting given the cost of gasoline, the way people drive around the city and the kind of vehicles they drive. :)
Although I never had enough time to finish it, "End of the Beginning" was going to be the flagship track for an album. The composition is fine, but it's a little too repetitive for me. The style is symphonic clashing with electronic. The last section before the outro is probably the best part.
"Make You Want to Drive" is another attempt at writing lyrics. While the first verse and the chorus are both great, do not listen to the second verse--it's horrible. Unless you have a sense of humor like mine, skip over it.
"Rubber Ducky" is a track wherein I finally found a spot to insert an instrument that I constructed--a bass guitar amplified through a 1 1/2" speaker which I overdrove to produce the bright (almost brassy) sound. Overall, however, the composition needs another melody because everything's too similar.
"Summer is Back" is another track with a lot of good ideas, but not enough excitement and composition to make it memorable.
"Intersecting Worlds" was an attempt to break free from the composition paradox I encountered with "End of the Beginning" so it may feel like a reprise of that track. It's even longer than "End of the Beginning", but there's more entertainment/minute, so enjoy.

Please stay courteous and be sincere (for good and bad!). It can be an interesting read for others, but only if it is constructive and doesn't disparage the artist.
Please write about the music itself and don't be too hard on the sound quality of some demos.
